People under this plan would get benefits like government-sponsored healthcare and free college tuition, “but they’ll all be on the spending side of the ledger,” said Russell Sullivan of McGuireWoods law firm.

Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation, said that it equates to “about a $5,000 tax cut,” but wouldn’t boost economic growth as much as some other candidates' outlines.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz’s plan would save taxpayers about $31 per week.

Hodge said the senator's proposed flat tax “doesn’t give you as much of a tax cut, but it has a much bigger impact on the economy.”

While John Kasich’s plan hasn’t been laid out in as much detail as some of the other candidates, “our guess is … he’d probably come out somewhere in the middle between the Cruz plan and the Trump plan,” said Hodge.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California said that "people have suffered enough" because of President Trump and that a real leader would re-open the part of the government that has been shuttered since December.
